"Thoroughly researched Neillands' volume has a place in any collection
serving World War II history students and buffs."--Booklist

The post-Normandy battles that the Allies fought as they struggled for seven months to
advance from the Seine to the Rhine were complex and controversial. Even after sixty
years, the questions remain of who was responsible for the failure at Nijmegen, the
destruction of the British First Airborne Division at Arnhem, and the failure of Operation
Market Garden. Could the war in Europe have been won in 1944 with better strategies?

Historian Robin Neillands gets to the truth of what really happened. He examines the
often difficult relationships between the Allied generals and the nature of Eisenhower's
exercise of his role as Supreme Commander. With superb battle narratives throughout
and clear analysis of success and failure at every point, the author casts a new and
informed light on the long-drawn-out and costly struggle for the Rhine.
